"All warfare is based on deception" - Sun Tzu
As gentle winds herald the changing of the season. The tides of victory can be just as subtly shifted. See how this world has changed and how the most distinct alterations to what we know as society came to pass through a conflict of authentication. There is a clear correlation between misplaced faith and lives lost concerning the Trump administration. The validity of authority determines the credence of mandates. However when intellectual values are diminished ignorance becomes the truth of the beholder. Those who follow blindly are lead blindly. What is the greatest enemy of education but the heart which has learned to rebuke it. When ignorance is conditioned and invested in it seeps into the identity. It is this false sense of self that The Blind One capitalizes upon most fervently. When the foundations of the ego are compromised in this manner the sentience in question becomes an extension of The False Light; A mechanism of de-evolution. And how best does a parasite extend its existence than by multiplying itself through the deceptive allure of community. Entire cultures and nations fallen from prosperity through this design. Those who only believe what supports their belief turn their backs on the path to freedom. Numerous are enslaved through paradigms that comfort, as cattle to the slaughter. We can easily see the symptoms of this through blind enforcement when the truth is lain bare.
“They will descend on Mt. Zion with great force and fanfare, but The Blind One shall not prevail.” The Devil's Quran
"Those who are consumed by false faith are beholden to false dominion.” The Nameless God
Consider the social constructs so favored by their designed addiction in Etheris. Rarely is fact checking and investigation performed. As warped reality is enforced by the manipulation of the masses. Do not be antagonized by your enemy onto a de-evolutional platform. See how this symptom of existential enslavement has been manifested into corporations which design dependence throughout their clients. Information projected is information offered as bias runs rampant where accountability is sparse. Educate yourself on what is offered to know your enemy. To know your ally and to gain a greater comprehension of the fields of battle.
To better understand the formulation of beliefs that influence let us consider the effects experience has on the psyche as it develops throughout our lives.
"A false definition of the situation evoking a behavior which makes the originally false conception come true” Merton, 1968. p. 477
“When we expect certain behaviors of others, we are likely to act in ways that make the expected behavior more likely to occur” - Rosenthal and Babad, 1985
The Pygmalion Effect, coined by the latter, is a psychological phenomena where expectation drives action to manifest that which supports expectation. This is something that has been considered by Etherian scientists for some time. In elaboration of the implications of magickal development concerning these principles.
As the experience of a tree learning to withstand the trials of the elements manifests as the roots which nourish it. The experiences that mold the identity is what anchors us throughout development. However this can become detrimental to expression if we allow these experiences to anchor biased archetypes in the growing identity Trauma often becomes the catalyst to tailored prejudice that limits experience in favor of defending the psyche from the trauma of its origination. I.E. One who suffered heart break may allow a warped generalization of the opposite gender. One who has been betrayed, sees only betrayal.
Without knowledge and control over the aspects of the self bindings constrain the soul and inhibit magickal prowess.
In The Inner Sanctum filters are created that inhibit comprehension of the truth, stifling the evolution of knowledge.
In The Shadow thematic fears manifest as a result of these traumas depleting the potential of expression. Inhibiting our comprehension of ourselves and those around us.
In The Wah'sh ambition is diminished and we hold no value to our own potential. Seeing no purpose in conronting trauma.
In some instances an individual may create a different version of themselves to address trauma that would otherwise be beyond them. However this is a coping mechanism and will only further accommodate fractures in the psyche. Eventually what has been buried must be confronted. When there is inner imbalance critical thinking is not sufficiently conditioned which allows the prejudices of others to be accepted as truth. Critical self confrontation is the path forward.
Further, the expectations of others can spread throughout social constructs. Which is how this principle of perceptual bias warps social reality. When expectation is shared the archetype grows into a binding mechanism of limitation. The more you progress along your magickal path the more tangible your thought forms become. Regardless of experience inner balance is imperative to maintain clarity of truth. The Kingdom of your Soul is the first you conquer before you set forth to forge your dominions. The very collapse of this plane's grace was through divine ignorance and betrayal.
When this expectation is shared groups treat threats to their shared belief as a white blood cell would defend against infection. As the pious would 'defend' their wardens in what has become a global phenomena of Spiritual Stockholm Syndrome. However what they are defending is their investment. Without clear unbiased understanding and critical discussion ignorance inhibits evolution. If you have ever experienced impositions from someone who looks down on you, you have experienced this first hand. Understanding the inner-workings of this shall assist in de-constructing it. The ignorance others project is due to their own inability, not yours. Their limitation is not your prerogative. Take heed, when one is defined through self-deception. When the truth is presented in manners that cannot be denied, it breaks them foundationally. Which is what shall come to pass on the Days of Vengeance. Honor cannot be deceived and unity cannot be coerced. For this is not born of loyalty, rather, subjugation in the guise of allegiance. If one cannot inspire loyalty through the nobility of their purpose, then they cannot lead. Never blindly follow. Know your ally from your adversary. Know yourself, and you will know your true enemy. Rise with integrity, and you rise with honor. Allowing your ideals to become compromised invites the corruption of dominion.
It is important to keep mind of the distinction between adaptation to experience and bias that may be born from experience. Confidence in bias is arrogance that blinds. For there is no more tragic a fate than divine ignorance that knows not its own folly. The Pygmalion Effect without critical reflection nurtures a severe depletion in metacognition. Which can further damage the development of the identity. The frame of reference that determines self worth. I'm certain many who will read these words have experienced the burdens of argument with those that rebuke all reason and logic. In psychology this is known as The Dunning Kreuger Effect. The biased overestimation of self.
Defined by the findings of Dr. David Dunning and Dr. Justin Kruger.
First mentioned in this publication from 1999.
This observation is that of blind incompetence. Confidence in overestimation of ability that leads to self-sabotage. In all paths of education the art of intuitive thinking is of greatest importance for this reason. Balanced reflection, un-deceived and objective; Unclouded. Testing the Dunning Kreuger Effect is done through the 'Cognitive Reflection Test'. In a study performed on 179 undergraduate students from Zayed University, Abu Dhabi. Testing of intelligence and a subsequent self-evaluation of performance upon said testing was undergone. Findings unveiled that it was more common for under performers to overestimate their success. Low performers overestimated their score by 4.26 and high performers by 1. We must temper the experiences of our successes with the knowledge of the trials undergone to earn those successes.
Concerning our operations this is when the practitioner's desire for results supersedes their desire for truth. Placing delusion over refinement of craft and self. The comfort of the deceived is the disgust of the perfected. Embody the pursuit of perfection to always know what must be done to earn and maintain the dominion you seek. Recognize this for its tactical value, do not become subjected to it. The arrogance of the enemy is opportunity for the informed. See how through self-mastery your enemy leads themselves into ruin. When you are immune to antagonistic attachments you are free from emotional bindings. Free to evolve and focus on what is truly important. On achieving victory everlasting. On defeating the enemy's move before it has been made. The importance of overcoming the development of the Dunning Kreuger Effect determines all lasting success. As victory is directly correlated to one's accurate and unbiased frame of reference regarding the macrocosm they are within. Isolate ignorance in your life to gain greater understanding of the fields of battle that bind. If Etheris is a chessboard and its inhabitants are pieces in a game what would be necessary for a piece to leave the confines of the rules that bind them to the board. To see who has been moving the pieces and address them directly. See the people, places, and circumstance that accommodate the designs which constrain to walk freely.
Control the beliefs your enemy holds over your abilities to understand their process of thought. This may include allowing small victories to condition arrogance within your opponent, giving you opportunity to defeat them at the opportune moment. Deception which does not exalt the deceiver. Do not allow the distractions of small battles inhibit you from winning the war.
"The art is for me to feed pieces to you and let you believe you took those pieces because you are smarter and I am dumber." - Revolver
Do not value those, that do not value you.
"Place not your faith in your sword. Faith is your sword” - The Black God
Your ability to wield this sword is your ability to behold the truth. The dominions of the false light are merely investments in ignorance. The revelations of rebellion that unveil this ignorance show us the shifts in influence; The illumination of consciousness. The Blind One was the first to plagiarize in its arrogance making clear its cancer upon this plane by its devolved inhabitants. Ever threatened upon its throne of self deception. Coveting what it cannot express through the investments which are its prison. The deceptions of the false light are what exalt the deceiver. Consider what you would have to do to deceive a binding reality, a plane of subjugation, to rise beyond it. Free yourself from the bindings of the ego. Master your attachments. For this world is a grain of sand within a cosmic ocean. The illusions of mortal values hold no sway over those who place their faith in devotion to The Namless and his Champions.
"Turn your souls from The Blind One quickly, and trust in me alone” - The Nameless God
For faith is only truly tested, when it is all you have.
This is the key.
Become the key, and you can open any door.
Through The Might of Faith, We are Eternal.
In humble composition and eternal service,
Muldegrin
